I just brought my entire collection to Pincinnati. My GOT was a couple weeks old when i took it to LAX.
One awesome Pinsider brought their JJP Pirates to Pincinnati this weekend.
Sure you risk needing to fix something that goes wrong, but that’s a risk at home too.
Just keep an eye on it and you’ll be fine. It’s very rewarding to bring your game to shows imo.
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Stupid question... when you say, "keep an eye on it and you'll be fine" do you mean machine's being stolen, people mistreating the machines... do you mine elaborating?
Just take a walk to see your game every hour or so. Make sure everything is working still. If people are playing it, all is well. Lots of times, if your machine experiences an issue, even if you posted contact info, no one tells you about it.
You’re taking a brand new game to a show. If you’ve had it for a while and haven’t had issues, I doubt 500-600 plays across a weekend will do anything to it. I’d be more nervous to bring an older game than a newer one. I was terrified to bring my EMs this past weekend. They held up though.
Quoted from Crile1:I have done it once. Hardest part was watching some people smacking my game around. It was only a few and they did it to a lot of the other games. So, I set the tilt pretty tight to discourage death saves and other big moves. There is never an excuse to rage tilt on a machine that is not yours and that someone was nice enough to bring to a show. But, that being said, there was no damage after the show and it was cool feeling that I was part of the show. Planning on doing it again.
Make sure and let us know if anyone is getting out of hand. If one collector bringing games feels someone is being too rough, that is too many, so we will do our best to nip it in the bud.
Quoted from Gryszzz:I'll tell ya who SHOULDN'T be bringin games: the obnoxious asshole that brought that ACDC and left it on full blast all weekend in Cincinnati.
It was Bon Scott atleast, so there's that.
To be fair, that was a tad loud. Haha. So much so that it was distorted through the speakers. 5 ticks down and it would’ve been perfect.
